New city, same creative team.

Easily one of the more disappointing announcements of the past month has been the news that Marvel is ending the current Daredevil series with February's issue #36. From the beginning, Mark Waid's take on Daredevil has ranked among Marvel's best books and offered a taste of what would come later with Marvel NOW.

However, like many DD fans, we weren't ready to assume Waid's run was finished. And that optimism has paid off. Today Marvel announced that Waid and artist Chris Samnee will be returning to helm the fourth volume of Daredevil. And this new book kicks off in March, so their saga won't even be skipping a month.

The new series picks up after Matt Murdock ends his prolonged battle with the Sons of the Serpent, closes down his Hell's Kitchen law firm and leaves New York for greener pastures. The previously announced Infinite Comic, Daredevil: Road Warrior (from Waid and artist Peter Krause), will chronicle Matt's road trip to the West Coast. The new Daredevil #1 will find Matt setting up shop in San Francisco and building his new life.

We'll have an interview with Waid and Samnee tomorrow that sheds more light on the new series and how Daredevil fits into All-New Marvel NOW. Until then, let us know if you're psyched about more DD from this creative team in the comments section.
